Many townhome and condominium complexes are not in receipt of city refuse collection services and have to pay higher maintenance fees for private refuse collection. I have been asked to fight for these homeowners and create a special class of property tax - to offset the expense. I came up with Bill 6 to address this disparity - and this measure will also be heard in the Budget Committee this Tuesday. Instructions to send in testimony can be reviewed in the agenda.

TSUNAMI DEBRIS CONTINGENCY PLAN

I have another resolution being heard - reso 12-15 to address what is going to happen to all of the debris coming from the floating trash pile that is to hit Hawaii's shores - from the tsunami/earthquake that hit Japan. See agendahere. Let's make certain the plan is not to dispose of all the trash on our side of the island . . . if so, we want to be compensated!
